I fell in love with this Make do & mend print from Bold & Noble, available in azure blue or warm stone. This print is perfect for the designers reading. The pretty typography had me at hello — I love the simplicity and subtle femininity here. Bold & Noble is a design collective in Hertfordshire, England founded by Jane Tobitt and David Wardle. David also runs DesignedbyDavid, a company that specializes in design, illustration and typography for publishing. Jane has created custom design solutions for clients in both public and private sectors for over ten years for several prestigious clients. Together they are Bold & Noble and I’m happy & excited to have found them!

This print is £30 or approximately $43 USD.

Keep Calm & Carry On has a new friend! What do you think? Like it?

I think I need both of these posters. They are definately a good paor. I need to learn to “make do” and “keep calm” – being the ultimate crazy perfectionist that I am!

I saw this poster last week and I love it! I’m seriously thinking about buying one for my sewing room. I adore the blue shade and the lettering!

This is so sweet. It’s so timely considering the economy these days, and I’m certain the ‘green’ folks would love its message as well.

This print is just perfect. I love it in both colors. I think it gives off a very serene feeling. I could use that in my house!

I love this! I would love to have it in my craft room, the one I don’t have yet, but I will someday, and this should be in it.

This post is so well timed for me — I was just working on a blog post about modern alphabet prints for nurseries and hadn’t heard of this company before but I just clicked over to their website and their screenprints are beauitful! I’m honestly not a huge fan of the “Make Do and Mend” print but I really love their alphabot and birds a-z prints so I just had to include them in my round-up (http://odietamoblog.blogspot.com/2009/02/easy-as-b-c.html)!
Thanks for the tip!

Love, love, love for so many reasons. I like the original Keep Calm poster but hesitate on getting one because I’m seeing it _everywhere_ so I like this word play on the original.
Secondly love it because it’s a good message in this economy – stop freaking out, take a deep breathe, and make do. Our great grandparents did it during the Depression, so can we.
Thirdly, I have a bunch of little mending jobs piling up around my sewing machine. This would be a good reminder to do those simple projects!

I love this as much as the Keep Calm & Carry On saying. You could switch them depending on what’s going on in your day or what’s in the news! I love the stitching typography on these. I find this becoming my motto more and more as I shop but don’t buy, telling myself to make do with what I already have. Yay!

LOVE!!!! Thanks for sharing… i too think I might need one for my sewing room. I only wish it came in a calm yellow or pale grass green color. I love the blue… but I might have to go with the warm stone to match my decor.
